It is interesting that a company paid $50,000 for an ad. Gore seems to think that people want to see a good ad...well, yes. once, twice, thrice but not much more. We are inundated with advertising. The only thing on tv that should die is Current TV, Gore could then concentrate on profiting from cap-n-trade carbon taxes while the rest of us get poorer.

current is not the reinvention of news..

like news.com, its the death of information to enlighten, and the cashing in on activities to momentary entertain an increasingly uneducated audience.

has anybody actually scene current? its cartoons and baseball caps worn backwards humor that maybe was a news channel once on paper, but has become lost between the daily shows comedy presentation and mtv news circa 1985.

shame. it needs to decide if its news or entertainemnt.. not all NEWS ends ina dude or a punchline or cynical remark.

anyhow, back the the show.
